Rogue Nylon Track Jacket

All track jackets are not created equal, and this notion is obvious once you discover this model from Rogue. The simplicity of this mesh-lined, blue track jacket is complemented by its double white reflective stripes running down each sleeve. You can get it this season in cobalt blue, lime, melon, or yellow, but blue is the AM choice for the best of the sports-inspired fashion trend this summer.

Few sportswear designers think as much about the process of design and manufacturing than the duo behind Rogue. Jimmy Reilly and Maria Olmes are the New York-based designers behind the modern athleticism of Rogue, and this nylon track jacket is a prime example of their urban sports-inspired vision. Since 1999, they have been reinvigorating men’s fashion with a downtown, masculine look with attention to all manner of details from the finishing of fabrics and the choice of hardware.

Built to last? Of course. So let’s consider just how well this Rogue nylon track jacket fits into the sports-inspired trend racing through men's fashion this summer. For years, designers have attempted to add athletic design lines to their existing collections. The result has been odd pairings of hoods with skintight cotton shirts.

The misfires have been endless. Yet, while this was happening, Reilly and Olmes have been quietly building their modern, urban line of athletic-inspired clothing with the right balance of color, materials and testosterone for what could be the best jacket you’ve ever worn to the gym, on the weekend, or just around the house.
